Texicon is always looking for good people to help out at the convention, if you want to help us we'd love to hear from you. Some jobs may be small, some may be large. So if you're interested in Volunteering please contact us.

Because there were many complaints that the perks schedule was confusing, we have simplified it for Texicon 2013.The following is the new perk schedule.

Volunteer Perks:We understand that all our volunteers do not get paid for the time that they volunteer for Texicon. However, we understand that all our Volunteers help out because they love gaming. Thus, we want to give back to them in the way that they gave to the convention. In order to do this, we have decided the following.

A volunteer who assists for 12hrs = Free Full Con PassA volunteer who assists for 8 hrs = $25 Full Con PassA volunteer who assists for 4 hrs = $35 Full Con Pass

A volunteer who assists for 4 hrs on a given day = $20 Day Pass(This Day Pass perk only valid one time per year) It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $30.

A volunteer who assists for 6 or more hours on a given day = Free Day Pass. Heck, we think you have done enough. Thank you for your help. Now, go enjoy yourself.(This Day Pass perk only valid one time per year) It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $50.

Please note: both Volunteer Day Pass perks are for those volunteers who are not returning to the con and will be at Texicon only one day.
